No. 173, 1897.—Pitihana a Kararaina Kaimoana me etahi atu e rima tekau ma iwa.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i whakataua a Hereheretau Poraka ki nga tangata kotahi tekau o te Tiwhikete i runga i te ritenga hei kai-tiaki ratou mo te iwi, a tokotoru o aua kai-tiaki kua hoko he i o ratou hea. E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia paahitia he ture e whiwhi ai ratou i o ratou tika ki taua whenua.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia, i runga i te aronga o te kupu a te Tumuaki Kai-whakawa o te Kooti Whenua Maori i whakahua ai i roto i tana ripoata mo tenei putake.
